Pride - A Poem

Hello Everyone,

Evelyn Here,

here is another short poem on the heart of a rejected old man who lets pride become his guide. This too I wrote three years ago. It it entitled "Pride".

PRIDE

 

The pride of a foolish old man

Is like a double edged sword.

One edge hoary and brittle,

And the other, bloody

And sharp.

One edge breaks easily

With the tiniest slight

And the other

Seeks revenge

with cold remorse.
